At the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, it was truly la vie en rose -- Lady Gaga 's pink feathers and all. The world-famous singer made a sartorial splash along the Seine at Square Barye in Paris as she performed among a sea of pink feathers during the elaborate opening ceremony for the 2024 Olympics on Friday. Having recently wrapped up her latest Jazz & Piano shows in Las Vegas, the Oscar winner brought her showgirl style overseas to the City of Light.
She aptly sang "Mon Truc en Plumes" and danced while dressed in a Dior Haute Couture ensemble featuring a black feather jacket, satin bustier, black and pink skirt embroidered with feathers and sequins, gloves, and a matching headpiece. The Joker: Folie à Deux star was joined by a group of dancers dressed in black toting pink feathered pom-poms and fans. The 38-year-old 13-time GRAMMY winner is no stranger to singing in French.
She has frequently performed another French classic, Édith Piaf's "La Vie en rose," including in the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born . "I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris @Olympics 2024 this year. I am also humbled to be asked by the Olympics organizing committee to sing such a special French song—a song to honor the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre," she wrote on Instagram of the performance.
"This song was sung by Zizi Jeanmaire, born in Paris a French ballerina, she famously sang 'Mon Truc en Plumes' in 1961.
